Same-sex couples in Minnesota face some difficult issues that are usually not experienced by their heterosexual counterparts, such as discrimination and other similar social issues. Marriage laws that apply to same-sex couples and family issues that include child custody are so new and untried that their interpretation sometimes leaves room for confusion. In most cases, same-sex couples are compelled to consult legal professionals who understand the current law and procedures to be followed for family law matters, such as domestic partnerships, separation and divorce of married same-sex couples and child custody and support.

Same-sex partners often face many legal issues if they reside in states where same-sex marriage is not recognized. Therefore, Delta Air Lines, one of the largest employers in Minnesota, recently updated its healthcare coverage for employees in same-sex relationships. According to this new policy, employees covered under the airline's healthcare plans will no longer pay taxes associated with healthcare coverage. In fact, the airline announced it will shoulder the tax obligation, helping same-sex couples achieve universal healthcare coverage at a lower cost.

In August 2013, same-sex marriages were legalized in Minnesota, which conferred many theretofore unavailable legal rights to same-sex partners. Now, same-sex couples are entitled to Social Security benefits that a spouse has earned through his or her employment. After a divorce, the law provides same-sex partners with eligibility for many benefits, such as death benefits, disability or retirement claims and so on. A surviving spouse of a same-sex marriage can now apply for the benefits that may be available on the Social Security Administration's website.
